Providence Software Engineer Interview Questions
& Process

Providence had an online assessment for the SDE Intern role that included Computer Science Fundamentals, Aptitude, and Coding. After that, if you qualified, they set up three interviews: one technical interview where they checked your coding skills, how you solve problems, and CS core concepts. Then a technomanagerial interview that mixed technical talk with questions about scenarios and how you'd manage a team. Finally, an HR interview to see if you'd fit in, how you communicate, and why you want to do an internship.

Worst interview process I've been through. Had 3 rounds, 2 technical with the India panel and 1 technical with the US team, cleared them all. The whole thing took 3 weeks. My final round with the hiring manager was scheduled for a week later because they said they weren't available. The next day, I got a call saying a candidate was already selected by the manager and they were dropping my profile. So they just wasted my time and are losing reputation too. Really unprofessional behavior.

So, Providence did this on-campus hiring in 2022. There were 4 rounds in total, and each round was an elimination round. The first part was a test with programming, SQL, and aptitude. Undisclosed number of people were selected for the interview process. Round 1 was entirely technical, starting with introductions and some basic resume questions, followed by core CSE concepts like OOPS and OS. I had to write and run two codes right there, and it took about 45 minutes. Round 2 was a mix of technical and HR, with only theoretical questions covering OOPS, caching, and DSA, plus some standard HR stuff, lasting around 30 minutes. The final round was purely HR, no technical questions at all.
